CRISPR-Cas13a mediated targeting of hepatitis C virus internal-ribosomal entry site (IRES) as an effective antiviral strategy
19 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C is an inflammatory liver disease caused by the single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) hepatitis C virus (HCV). The genetic diversity of the virus and quasispecies produced during replication have resulted in viral resistance to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) as well as impediments in vaccine development. The recent adaptation of CRISPR-Cas as an alternative antiviral approach has demonstrated degradation of...
